Burnsville Police and City Hall Project: Phase One Takes Shape

From the initial groundbreaking to the installation of structural steel, the Burnsville Police and City Hall project is steadily moving forward. What started as a plan for secure and efficient civic campus is now becoming visible in its form and structure.

 

The building’s depth is beginning to define its spaces, showing how scale, angles, and layout will come together. With steel framing and precast panels in place, the framework of the design is more clear, and the geometry of the addition is taking shape.

 

Visitors can now experience moving through upper and lower levels, with windows that will offer an abundance of daylight – along with views of the pond and surrounding woods. In particular, the future Council Chamber will provide a scenic outlook that connects the work of governance with the natural setting.

 

The project reflects a balance of functionality and thoughtful design, creating spaces that serve the community while embracing the site’s unique landscape.

 

Phase One of the project is expected to be completed mid-summer of 2026. For more information, timelines, and updates, visit the City of Burnsville website.

BURNSVILLE FIRE STATION NO. 1

CNH’s largest fire station to date, the City of Burnsville’s Fire Station No. 1 is home to a crew of all full-time firefighters and more than 44,000 SF with 10 apparatus bays. Firefighter safety was one of nine top priorities for the station. Multiple contamination zones and a designated de-contamination area will allow firefighters to keep contaminated equipment and clothing in the apparatus bay until decontaminated. Another priority in the design was firefighter mental health. A warning system that slowly ramps up with alert tones and lighting while only alerting responding staff ensures firefighters are not awoken in an abrupt manner. The station includes areas for relaxation with different lighting to promote natural sleep rhythms, as well as a yoga studio and meditation garden. Extensive firefighter training features including Firefighter 1 and advanced training elements are another highlight of the station.
